The Vegas Golden Knights are trading longtime forward Reilly Smith to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a 2024 third-round pick, the team announced.

The draft pick originally belonged to Vegas but was sent to Pittsburgh as part of the Teddy Blueger trade in March.

Smith, 32, has two years remaining on his contract, which carries a $5-million cap hit. The winger recorded 26 goals and 30 assists in 78 games with the Golden Knights during the regular season and added 14 points in 22 postseason contests en route to Vegas' Stanley Cup win.

An original "Misfit," Smith has been with the Golden Knights since their inaugural season in 2017-18. He ranks second in franchise history in goals (124) and third in points (286).

Smith could replace Jason Zucker, who's a pending free agent. Jake Guentzel, Bryan Rust, Rickard Rakell, and Mikael Granlund are Pittsburgh's other top-six wing options.
